What Our Patients Say

Preventative Dentistry You Can Trust

Preventive care is the single best investment you can make in your teeth. A 45-minute cleaning twice a year prevents the kind of damage that takes hours of restorative work to repair. Louis B. Sachs D.D.S. has been the trusted preventive dental practice for Southern Maryland families for more than three decades.

Every preventive visit at our Solomons office is thorough, gentle, and built around catching problems early, when they are smallest and easiest to handle.

What Is Included in a Preventive Dental Visit?

Your visit includes a complete cleaning and exam:

  • Professional cleaning (prophylaxis) — removes plaque and tartar above and just below the gumline
  • Oral cancer screening — visual and tactile exam of tongue, cheeks, and throat
  • Digital X-rays as needed — low radiation, detects decay between teeth and bone loss
  • Gum health assessment — measurement of pocket depths to catch gum disease early
  • Fluoride treatment — strengthens enamel against cavities
  • Personalized home-care guidance — practical brushing and flossing coaching

Why Preventive Care Saves You Money

The American Dental Association estimates that every dollar spent on preventive care saves $8–$50 in restorative treatment. A cavity caught early is a small filling — left alone, it becomes a crown or a root canal.

Preventive care also protects whole-body health. Research links oral health to heart disease, diabetes, respiratory illness, and pregnancy outcomes. Keeping your mouth healthy is one of the simplest things you can do for your overall health.

Preventative Dentistry FAQs

Most patients benefit from a cleaning and exam every six months. Patients with gum disease or high cavity risk may need visits every three to four months. Dr. Sachs will recommend the right interval for you.
